What you receive
- One single-file master STL delivered at 1:87 (HO). Miniature Reality supplies exactly this HO master STL; no additional pre-scaled STLs are included. Conversion multipliers are listed below.
Overview and visible features
This asset is a compact cluster vignette of dock workers intended to populate quay, pier and waterfront scenes. The composition places several standing adult figures in close proximity on a shared footprint rather than as separate single-figure files. Clothing is modeled for HO readability: jackets and overcoats are simplified and blocky with distinct collarlines and hems, trousers are loose with broad fold planes, and silhouettes emphasize weight shifts and neutral working gestures rather than fine costume detail. Heads are modeled as separable volumes and limb junctions show visible separation lines to simplify splitting into individual figures if you choose to edit the mesh.
Poses and props compatibility
Poses suggest handling cargo, conversation and general dock activity. No fine hand-held tools are attached, but arm positions are compatible with small printed props after minor edits. Print the cluster intact for quick placement on piers and docks, or split into individuals for varied layout use.
Printing recommendations
- Layer height: 0.06–0.12 mm. Use lower layer heights for best face and hand fidelity on resin printers.
- Supports: tree supports or small point supports under arms and undercuts.
- Orientation: upright printing preserves faces; a shallow tilt reduces facial supports when printing the intact base.
Intended uses
- HO model-railroad layouts, waterfront dioramas, painting practice and small display vignettes. The pack reads well at layout viewing distances and is suitable for hobbyist painting and weathering.
